For those trying to get a flu jab can you get it via Boots or similar? I booked mine with them

There are some walk-in booster clinics. But obviously, you may need transport to get to them.
But yes there are obviously not enough boosters, or not enough staff to administer them. But instead, they want to pretend people are not going for them.

A choice you were able to make because you knew they would be protected from diseases that could kill them because of herd immunity due to other people getting their children vaccinated. So that's nice for you.

Yes it’s lucky that the vast majority do make the sensible choice to get their children inoculated.

Government are facilitating boosters being had. Loads and loads of reports of people who are eligible not being able to book booster. Disgraceful.

So have you or your children never had any medicine or medical treatment @snowflake29f?

So many questions about @snowflake29f's latest post but it's just not worth asking them...

fools speak the truth that’s ironic.

It looks awfully like you’re saying people with Autism etc are below you’re children, they can’t possibly be gifted and talented. Mocking them.

I hope I’m mistaken as that’s disability discrimination which is a hate crime.

Have reported @snowflake29f post. Incredibly offensive as those with autism are often highly intelligent. My friends daughter has autism, all A*’s in her A levels and has just started an academic degree at one of the top Uni’s. Snowflake obviously does not have a medical or scientific background.

I reported the post also.

Disgusting and woefully uneducated comments.

I don’t think anyone has insulted you and no-one has insulted your children. Most posters, like me, have asked whether you and your children have ever taken medication or had medical treatment, but you seem to have ignored that question

Oh you think I’m selfish because I will be leaving my kids behind . Maybe the reason I am ok with death is because I live my life to the fullest I don’t just exist in it .
Death is inevitable we all die and it don’t matter how scared this silly world wants you to be if you embrace your life and love the people you need to respect the ones you don’t need to love your life will be for filled.

What would worry me is if your extended your beliefs to refusing to get medical treatment or vaccinations for your children. You have a right to accept early avoidable death for yourself, but not for them - and not for the immune-compromised who might be infected by them. You say that your daughter is grown up now and has had vaccinations, so you were clearly taking a risk for her that she did not want to take for herself.

Are you a ten year old? The last time I heard a remark like this was when I was on playground duty.

I personally haven’t said anything about your children.

Your insults are not ‘better’. Neither are they factually correct. Your inability to use correct grammar, easily stops you from looking as clever as you believe you are.

Frankly you just come across as poorly educated, with delusions of grandeur and lacking in any self awareness.

Is it actually any business of yours anyway to ask about a someones children, thread isn't about that.
